WOw! YOu have done a great job! First for me personally, I would not go to a private school. My older son is in one now and it is the biggest mistake I ever made in my life! They are all are different, but if I could turn back time this is one thing I would change! KIckboxing is awesome ( I do it myself) I used to teach Muay THai to kids and the majority of my class was special needs kids!! The response from the parents was awesome, how it built their self esteem, they LOVED coming, and of course at night slowed them down a bit. lol Oh, probably should say... my son is 8 and has SPD. My son can't stand sports, he likes to swim and fish. He cannot tolerate a group sport. He is highly intelligent, but impulsive outbursts, are something else! I am so glad to see you say about not wanting hm labeled as a behavior issue! That is so important to me! THese kids cannot control their behaviors!!!!!

It seems as though his classroom issue pertain to his teaches methods. It makes such a big difference if the teacher can maintain her classroom. They cannot change her teaching nor will they get rid of her, you might want to deceide to look into something different. Unless you want to hold out and check out the 3rd grade teacher's room . I just learned that there is a HUGE difference from 2nd to 3rd and I have been told by the teachers, principal, and social worker that it is the most dramatic change for kids. My son has regressed this school year, I personally think it is from transitioning faster, more going on in class, etc. So be prepared for that. Everything you are doing is great! Wait and see how your meetings go, if an SST is the same as an IEP, you will sit around a table with all the team and review your child and make decisions based ontheir findings to set up a plan for him. It can be intimidating so educate yourself on your parental rights and do not sign anything there take it home and go over it. Fight for what you feel he needs. Hopefully you won't have those problems. Good luck!!!!!!! Let us know what happens!
